Kogi gov injured in ghastly auto crash ..rushed to Abuja hospital

December 29, 2012 by Friday Olokor, Abuja and Success Nwogu, Ilorin

Governor Wada Idris of Kogi State

Governor Wada Idris of Kogi State was involved in a ghastly automobile crash on Friday afternoon. The accident claimed the life of his aide-de-camp, Idris Mohammed, on the spot. Mohammed was an Assistant Superintendent of Police.

However, his driver was said to have escaped unhurt.

Wada, who was returning from his hometown of Ayingba, where he had gone to attend the 2012 Igala summit, was heading back to Lokoja to attend Friday’s Jumat Service when the accident occurred on the Lokoja-Ajaokuta Road.

The accident occurred at Emi Woro village, about 12km to Lokoja, the state capital, in between Prime Polytechnic and Salem University, in Ajaokuta Local Government Area.

The governor reportedly sustained fractures, and was rushed to the State Specialist Hospital, Lokoja, for treatment.

According to www.premiumtimes.com.ng, an online news medium, Wada broke one of his legs in the accident.

Wada was later transferred to a hospital in Abuja for a better medical treatment as a result of his injuries.

Our correspondent observed that security was beefed up around the area, just as scores of family members, aides and political associates besieged the hospital.

Kogi State Government officials and vehicles were also seen in large numbers at the hospital on Friday evening.

Our correspondent learnt that only the official black jeep of the governor was involved in the accident.

Reports said the jeep had a burst tyre, even as the car ran into an uncompleted building, making it to somersault. In the process, his ADC, Mohammed, was thrown off from the vehicle. The jeep later ran over him in the course of summersaulting.

Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Alhaji Bologi Yabagi, in a statement on Friday, confirmed the accident.

He, however, said Wada was in a stable condition.

Yabagi said, “The convoy of the (Executive) Governor of Kogi State, Capt. Idris Ichalla Wada, has been involved in a ghastly accident. The governor survived the road mishap and is in a stable condition.

“Sadly however, the governor’s Aide-de-Camp, Idris Mohamed, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, died on the spot.

“The accident occurred on Friday afternoon at Emi Woro Village, about 12km from the state capital in between Prime Polytechnic and Salem University in Ajaokuta Local Government Area. The convoy was returning from an annual Igala Education Summit, which the governor declared open at the state university in Anyigba.”

Wada took to active politics in 2011 and ran for governor of Kogi State under the Peoples Democratic Party umbrella. He defeated his major opponent, Abubakar Audu, of the Action Congress of Nigeria.

He polled 300,372 votes, which is 58 per cent of the 518,949 valid votes cast as against, Audu, who scored 159,913 votes, representing 31 per cent of valid votes cast.

Wada was elected governor of Kogi on Dec. 3, 2011 and was sworn in on Jan. 27, 2012 after a drama which saw the then speaker, Mr. Abdullahi Bello, being first sworn in as acting governor of the state.

I could have sworn I heard he deputy Gov say ” damn” when he heard the Gov did not die

Lol! If NA you nko?

@Gideon Orkar. Many may not believe it, but it is the truth. He may be doing some prayers now for him not to recover, after all him own no go different.

Gideon Orkar

The deputy should go look for one good baba Ijebu to finish the job! After all the politicians are very good at occultic practises. This is a good time for “spiritual men” to make money off Govs. Expect them to flock to churches, mosques and jazzmen! Our curses are finally catching up with them!!

Why abuja? Are there no hospitals in kogi that could handle fractured bone incidence?this countre is dead!!!

TAYO-LIVE

Can we stop bad things from happening? Nobody is immune against bad things happening to him/her. Though it is natural to rejoice over the misfortunes of an opponent it is condemnable and should not be encouraged. What happened to Gov Wada can happen to anybody. Let’s not only pray for our leaders (good or bad) and continue to urge them to do good as God has control over everything. Nobody has control over what will and will not befall him. Our rulers should learn from misfortunes of 2012 and serve well with fear of God the controller of our lives.

Political

I am sure it has happened to everybody here. We all have friend or relatives that are victim of our deplorable roads and no gov or govt demn it fit to address the situation. If security is good, he will not the running so fast away from the people he claim to be governing. I for one don’t care what befall all this Demi demons parading as govs and presidents.

SULAIMAN ADELEKE

Don’t waist your precious time on these useless looters you are talking about. I absolutely disagree with you to pray and urge these devils to do good things. Have you forgotten most of them attend services in mosques and churches?.

Ade

@ Tayo- Live. Please! Please!! Please!!! Stop talking a whole load of sanctimonious crap!!! Do you know how many Nigerians have been reduced to walking corpses because of the greed & meanness of these thieving charlatans we call politicians??? Do you know that millions of poor people in this country will never experience a decent life befitting of a human being all through their lifetime??? Do you know that Nigeria was recently rated as the worst place to be born on earth??? Please don’t you ever repeat that sanctimonious nonsense again!!! The truth is because of the many prayers of defenseless, weak & poor Nigerians for a change, God has started to move in his own mysterious & miraculous ways in other to teach all these greedy thieving politician a lesson! Or are you able or ready to personally organize a revolution to bring about the much needed change in the country??? Please do not say anything at all! Just sit back & watch how a mighty God delivers a weak people.

ULTRA MODERN SPECIALIST HOSPITAL ..I MEAN

Olaseni Sobande (UK)

I have no tear to shed for any of these Politicians, I will save my tears for the oppressed, for the Boko Haram and Kidnapped victims. I will save my pain for the Pensioners dying of hunger and the accident victims on the bad roads. Yoruba will say Seka Seka a fi pupo se ara e (a wicked person stands to harvest the greater portion of his wickedness). Nigerian politicians are reprobate souls who are incapable of repentance and as mean as this may sound, they deserve no mercy because they are wicked and merciless crop of criminals. It was just last week that this same Governor convoy going at high speed killed a poor soul and you would have thought that would be a ear pulling warning for him but no. No Governor deserves blasting of Siren and speeding like a demon possessed spirit than Fashola of Lagos State considering the madness of Lagos Roads but you will never see him in unnecessarily long convoy or blaring siren. According to Fashola in one of the interviews, he said it is very unfair for a taxpayer to pay for a chauffeur driven air conditioned car for a government official and same would be oppressing and chasing the taxpayer (who might be in a jalopy, weather beaten, stuffy vehicle) off the road. Nigerian politician can simply not learn and their pride, ego, selfishness and greed will always lead to their downfall. How long would it take them to know that the God of the poor, fatherless, widow and widowers have arisen to fight for his own? If these Politician are capable of learning, aren’t they supposed to have learnt from, Chime, Imoke, Suntai, Yakowa, Azazi etc? I know that even if 99% of them died today, the remaining 1% would still not change because they have sold their souls to the Devil.

Gentleman

Olaseni, Nice one…! Let those who have ears, hear..!! Why must government officials drive government vehicles at cut-throat speed through narrow roads, in towns? Who dare caution them? Not even their employer..! Instead, they are praised for the suicide mission. According to the report, the DRIVER ESCAPED UNHURT…!! What a miraculous calamity…!!!
As for our politicians, a Yoruba adage says: Ti iwo ba se rere, ara ki o a ya o bi? (meaning if you do good to others, won’t you be happy?). Why would our politician always run away from the people? Is there no Central mosque in the town where the Governor had visited where he can say the Jumat prayers with the people?
The truth is:99% of our politicians are afraid of their shadows because they have not done well to the masses. This is why they cannot go anywhere without armed security personnel, not to talk of eating in their parents’ houses…for fear of food poisoning. Shame on them all.
It is not impossible that the ASP DID NOT USE THE SEAT BELT while in the car, which prompted his being thrown out of the vehicle according to the report.
It is common sight and disheartening to see our so-called law enforcement agents, especially the Police, not complying with simple traffic instructions while they are the first to apprehend any offender. Anyway, may his soul rest in peace.

Wada should be brought back to one of the General hospital in Kogi State
Wada should be brought back to the state hospital in Kogi state

Aayo Ojo Gbemi

This is a time the president, all governors, ministers, judges, legislators in federal , state and local governments , advisers most especially Okupe should search their hearts, repent, and make restitution. Nigerians are praying while some are cursing and they should remember how Abacha died. Who knows who is next among them? You are warned!

Wada’s biography is not sufficient enough to be a Governor, people’s deception party is really holding us to ransom. More calamities will befall all of them in 2013 because pikin wey say mama no go sleep no go sleep too

This same road kill General Adisa, state can rehabilitate the road and collect the money from the Federal Government,the way Saraki Bukola did Eye korin to Ilorin, but their greediness will not allow them to think that way, God give you(wada) the second chance. May God comfort the family of the dead soul in the car.

Its high time,our leaders should change and know that God is watching them,there is more into this spiritually,what they neglect to do will usually hunt them.May candid advice is for others to change and do good.
This country is owned by God.I wish the governor quick recovery
Please nigerians lets pray for this our nations,because it seems God is very fast with his justice on us now,.
God bless Nigeria !

Dr Joy

Hmmmmmmmm. May God help us. We need prayer in this land.
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy on us.

Omar Omar

Love your land and your people back. Fix the infrastructures for the masses that employed you as their leader. Serve your people with the kind of love you have for yourself and your children. People employed you to serve them, not for them to serve you. This applies to the military, police and other security personnel, you are not animals in uniform, stop behaving like rabid animals.
Return stolen loot and create jobs for all. Nobody is asking for handouts, just a chance to survive through hard work from the jobs you have created, the infrastructures you have repaired and others you have made available.

jean

Political office holders should be compelled to use facilities available in their domain. Next thing you hear is that he is in Germany… yeye people..

Shaft

I wish the governor well. The standard Organisation of Nigeria should be held responsible for the burst tyre which resulted into that ghastly accident.

Dr Joy

@Shaft. Hmmmm. So its the SON that is responsible for the bursted tyre. Na wa oooo.

Mat

Governors will claim to have built world class hospitals yet they will never use them when the need arises. Now Wada is in Abuja, doing what? When there is a specialist hospital in his state. Next thing you will hear , he is in Germany. God is giving them another opportunity to change their ways with these near misses

bosun

No one is immune from road accident but i will never pity any top govt. officials that is involve in any road accident. If u av a close friend or relations that has been a victim you will understand more.
Let them fix ALL the roads with good street lighting system. Despite all the cry of FRSC about deploying its staff to all major roads during this period. It has happen. I believe the gov. will be lamenting now.

BADLUCK JONAH!!!

@Factor n Nick. pls tell me .What has Goodluck Jonah got to do with this?Pls let us put sentiments apart and pray for our leaders and for ourselves as well to do the right thing, at the right place and at the right time.

He is enjoying himself. Nick is the Chairman, Punch Editorial Team. Incite the people against GEJ is his primary assignment.
Sule Lamido’s son was arrested at the Airport with undeclared sum of money against the rules. GEJ is after Lamido.
Dr. Wale Babalakin was arrested by the EFCC for money laundering. GEJ is after him for being obj boy.
obj’s house on fire, GEJ sent boys to spill kersosine on the structure.
Kudos Punch

Only God, the Almighty, knows ‘tomorrow’. So, let’s maximize ‘today’ to do a lot of good deeds. I pray for his quick recovery, and forgiveness for the departed. Dear Governor, when you’re back on your feet again, remember the common man.

Charles

RIP Gov. Idris! Recent tragedies involving high-profile Nigerians are a RED FLAG warning that the spirits of the innocent suffering masses and the gods of the land are angry with our theiving politicians. The coming year will witness more of this vengeance unless our mindless politicians become sensitive to the plight of Nigerians by using our public funds to fix roads, hospitals, education and provide job opportunities, rather than looting them

@Remi
Will you be so kind as to translate what you said to a language we all understand; I don’t know maybe ENGLISH!

emma

i wish the governor,quick recovery,may be his AD dead,du to not puting up his seat belt,we need to educate people the important of seat belt,it safe life.may the soul of AD RIP.

VisionaryLeadership

May the soul of the departed RIP and speedy recovery for the Governor.

A food for thought:
My President, search your soul because experiencing deaths, accidents, kidnappings, air crashes, violent clashes and terrorism every week in our great country Nigeria are too many to bear. May God forgive me for asking you to search your soul but, if I were you, I will resign as these experiences are not limited to economic decline or infrastructural decay but countless lives being lost everyday.

Why did i ask you to resign?
I have observed that you have demonstrated that you pray in the open, but what of your private life and hidden actions. Some Nigerian will argue that all these challenges cannot be attributed or linked to you?.
God will judge all of us. All I know, ‘a leader that peace reign during his tenure will have peace of mind and vice-versa’.

Nigeria did not experience these calamities with respect to lives during the reign of Late President Yar’adua who was even sick all through.

Pleaswe take physical and spiritual actions:

1. Repent if you have been involved in cult practices, Numerous visits to Pastors and Reverends to pray for you are not sufficient.
2. Pending when all the roads will be fixed, advise all agencies-air, waterways and roads to take charge along with enforcement of speed limits on the roads.
3. Spend public funds on public goods.
4. Speak to yourselves, bring back some or all of stolen funds stacked in foreign banks. Nigerians are forgiving people.
5.All of you should stop embezzlement
6.Stop patronage of cultism or assassination of lives for political and economic gains.

May good Nigerians live in Peace while the evil ones live in sorrow if the admonition was not heeded (Amen)

Isaac Ubiomo

These are questions worthy of print Punch?

al-Manzor Abuja

Governors should ashamed of thereself after promising of good roads and world class hospitals yet they will never use them when the need arises. Now Wada is in private hospital garki, Abuja, doing what? When there is a specialist hospital in lokoja. Another chance to change your ways and put God first in all you do.

Patience, Nigeria: health problem (just came home).
Suntai, Tarraba: plane crash (still in Germany).
Chime, Enugu: sickness (still in India).
Yakowa, Kaduna: plane crash (lost his life).
Now Wada, Kogi: road mishap (in Abuja).
theas people need to know that they still have blood flowing in their veins like any other individual on the street. This is a time for them to reflect on their lives & do the right things while the are still alive.

peaceman kalu

unless peolple in power start doing what is right,they will also reap d rot dey created.bad rds,no electricity,no good hospitals etc.u people shuld change nd stop stealing public funds.

peter reuben

The wost is yet to happen in Nigeria.God as just started with this unscrupulous politicians in Nigeria.Unless they repent,corrupt politicians in our country will never be at rest again.

Francis

I have a feeling that more of them will still follow including,maybe Mr President. Others have been removed in his favour since his secondary school days,thereby rejoicing in other people’s misfortune. It’s his time to pay considering the hardship he has meted and is still meting on Nigerians. I wouldn’t say you should go back to your campaign promises because you are clueless to effect any meaniful transformation in Nigeria. The only way is to accept you are not capable of steering the affairs of this nation, and therefore, quit.

ada

awoniyi would be a better gov.

jaoni

How many Nigerian died in the last one hour on Nigeria roads who care about them, are they not from a home, aren’t they also important to their family etc this useless politicians will soon know why they need to change after all this is going to be the third governor in less than three months that I know, I pity them and their family anyway, but as a Nigerian who has traveled between Ado Ekiti and Akure I will just say that’s good for them after all money can’t buy everything

Tiamiyu Adeoye

We people must know that anything could happen to anybody at any time of the day, whether you are good or bad it has nothing to do with whatever has being written to happen to any individual but the leaders should try as much as possible their best to serve their people base on their promises during campaign. May GOD in HIS mercy give WADA quick recovery and as I pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased ADC.

jaoni

Why was this ADC not fasting his seat belt?

Port Harcourt Boy

@jaoni, it is not fasten and fasting as you wrote.

@jaoni, it is not fasten and not fasting as you wrote.

Wale Saka

Thank God the Governor is still alive. One would like to ask why the Governorwas taken o Abuja for treatment. Is there no good hospital in Kogi to take care of the Governor? Perhaps the Governor should use this opportunity to see to the health sector in Kogi. While wishing the Govenor a speedy recovery I hope this will not be another Germany hospital case because we need our fx for other productive use

Ahiara John

Many more Governors will die in road accident! Nigeria is a mad country. I was in Germany, and when their Governors or president is passing, you will not notice it. But here in Nigeria you will see 40 cars following a governor or a senator speeding at 180 to 220 km per hour. When you investigate to know where they are racing to, you will be shocked that they are either going for birth day party of an old girl friend or where one concubine is celebrating the death of her grandmother who died 20years ago! Nigeria is a failed State. The only problem I have with my God is that He made a fatal mistake of creating me in this jungle area called Nigeria. I belonged to Sweden, Geneva, Swiss, where human brains function naturally. Why should a governor speed more than 80km per hour? Why?

Oluwaseyi Sunday

@Ahiara John

So you are saying that Our Good God has made 170 million mistakes because everyone in Nigeria is,…. Oh what is that term…. Ah, Yes! Everyone in Nigeria is a HUMAN BEING. Do you no think that the rest of deserve the Good things of life? Do you think we deserve to be treated as animals. “God made a mistake”; Just because of your VANITY AND CONCEIT!

May God forgive you!

bola

The state assembly should make a law no governments officials should be allowed to travel out of the state for any treatment .reason is that they will be able to fix our hospital .if this is happening to a common man nobody will be talking of an helicopter ,we shall be looking for a local man that will fix the broken leg.May GOD forgiven US Amen .

baba nate

nigerians, your feelings are understandable but let us not wish them evil. i pray that our govs will learn and retrace their steps. constitution made available enough for them in order not to touch the govt. purse but long throat will still push them to embezzle.

So so ashamed for our country which has lost its past glory and now in a state of disarray. Gov Wada and everyother governor/politician the Creator has given you a second chance please use it wisely.

1, 2, 3, 4 and still counting. Karma is a bitch and the chicken has finally come home to roost. They have just started. I have no pity for any Nigerian politician. When karma is done with the governors, she will head to the house of representathives and the senate, say hi to the ministers before finally having a ball with the presidency..Shebi den don harden their hearts, make we dey see now…Heartless people!

ekedi

it is a pity for what has happen, we should no point accusing finger on anybody. It is due to the system that we find ourselves, Things happen because people are in a wrong place at the wrong time. It can happen to anyone of us. the only solution is to have hope that God’s Kingdom will remove all the woes of this wicked system on the earth and bring peace and happniess to the humble ones. no any goverment of this world will do that.

paulochigozirim

It is high time we start wishing our leaders well..nd pray 4 them not to condem them. It is an accident. May d soul of His Aide rest in peace. Quick recovery to Idris.

It time our politicians start serving us well, and prayers and good wishes will flow voluntarily.

OLATUNBOSUN,

Prayer is what this country needs now. We have sinned and come short of God’s glory. We need restitution so that God will heal the land. So much of evil within and out side the political circle.

olusesan adejoye

It’s so sad that most of these happenings can be prevented if only our so called leaders are God fearing and could remember that that are steward who are suppose to be accountable to the people they govern but the reverse is the case.
In every budget, year in year out a lot of money is been allocated for infrastructural development but these money end up in the pocket of these greedy politician.

May God have mercy on them all and I pray they change to avert revolution in this country, because the situation can not continue this way.

JACOB

It is high time all our leaders began to put fear of God first in everything they are doing. What is lacking is the fear of God and righteousness without which there could be wrath of God upon the earth. Wishing the Governor a quick recovery and also console the family of the deceased ADC who sacrificed his life.

ONI

Who’s next ?

Kay

For the ADC to have been thrown out of the vehicle, it means he wasn’t wearing his seat belt.
All passengers must put on their safety belt = no matter who you are, gov or ADC. Life has no duplicate. Can you imagine not wearing seat belt during a flight take-off, landing or turbulence, thinking you are too big a man in the society.
Also, each time before embarking on a journey, perform some basic checks on the vehicle – one acronym as BLOWFAT = Break, Lights, Oil, Water, Fuel, A (Acceleration / Alternator {representing Electrical system)?, and Tyres. Another is P.O.W.D.E.R = Petrol Oil Water Damage Electrics Rubber (Tyres).
May God save us as we take due care.

There is reward for every bad or good did. It does not necessary mean when u die that u will get the reward. It may be here or there. All depends how ALMIGHTY design it. Nigerian politician, U people should fear GOD

May God grant Governor Wada quick recovery? I thank God he survived the ghastly accident. To his ADC, may his soul rest in peace. I pray that God grants his family, the fortitude to bear the loss.

The life of every human is precious but the Nigerian system only consider that of the politicians as precious depriving the good citizens of good health facilities, roads, jobs and the likes. If the health sector is of a good standard will there be any need for transfer to India and Germany where we lavish the nations wealth to seek health care and provide employment for the citizens of those nations while good Nigerians are jobless! Our wealth is enjoyed by other nations courtesy of our selfish leaders. Mr gov attended Uni Abuja from 1999 to 2006, 27yrs after dropping out of secondary school, what a slap on the educational sector! He basically enrolled to buy a certificate just like many in his shoes! Nija, when will thy glory return?

Bad Road

The stupid Governor does not even have good hospital in his state….. why Abuja hospital ? who will take ordinary man to Abuja hospital. I pity Nigeria.

If our governors serve the people and do the correct things, they will not need to avoid using our roads and air.

Those who choose to loot their state treasury and stop repairing roads and hospitals for the benefit of all will not benefit from the facility they failed to provide.

Govs, avoid using road by taking to the air, you die.
Govs, avoid air and take to the road you die.
Govs, do what is right and proper for the benefit of all, you and your people will be saved.

Govs, no hiding place for the heartless and wicked.

The driver survived because he was wearing seat belt. The ADC died because he was not wearing seat belt. Nigerians, learn your lesson.

If its a pure case of ACCIDENT, I sympathies with the Governor particularly the aide-De-camp that lost his live in the accident. If the accident was a result of avoidable human error, i suggest these government functionaries should take a lesson from FRSC workshop/seminar and stop their dangerous manner of driving. Wishing the Executive governor and his travel mates speedy recovery

Hmm… We have been witnessing a lot of calamities in this country. It is GEJ administration that have brought this calamity, killing of innocent soul (carnage) and Nigeria now turn to a den of kinapper’s, above all corruption.
I want to commend the effort of kogi governor for the tremendious contribution towards the development of our dear state.
To my own perspective, I think turning deaf hear to the plight of the elders of kogi state can bring about this but I pray you recover soon. And this will stand as a lesson to all the incumbent governor to be caution in whatever they want to do like they always say ‘when the frontal frog fell in a pit then others will have to be cautious’.

Speed Kills in written everywhere on our highways, but God will always block the sight of those against the poor and the speed to hell!I dont expect anything less than what is happening now. Nigerians are crying, and God is hearing….I no get feelings for them abeg.

Baba kadi

Middle beltans where are you? You accused core north for Suntai and yakowa accident so tell us who is responsble for Wada accident as we wait for Suswan alarm to materialize.

VENUS

This is a lesson for everyone.
Do good because the evil men do follow them.
Our leaders should give their lives to Christ.

T-man

it takes a break-neck speed for a car to somersault the way it was described.who were they running from?the ppl that elected them into power? where were they running to ,back to their shells for the fear of the unknown.A good governor is a man of the people and every move of his could be celebrated on daily basis ,anything wrong with that?that he has to hastily drive thru the town he governs is sign that he is a no do-gooder .GOD save his soul.
